Fabrics That Wow!

Richloom’s Ventura-Signot

Tangerine. Marine Blue. Fire Engine Red. These are only a few of the popular colors featured in outdoor settings this season. Bold hues are in- whether in vibrant solid designs or in fun patterns. In addition to introducing these spunky colors, manufacturers are also playing with textures and effects to enhance the outdoor living experience. Given the wide range of durable outdoor fabrics available today, outdoor spaces can be just as inviting as interior rooms.

Richloom Fabrics Group has seen major growth in its soft products, such as sheer panels and poufs used for decorating outdoor spaces. Sheer panels used in combination with bold colors and patterns create an extension of indoor window treatments. Richloom’s Ventura-Signot is an example of the company’s sheer offerings.

Sunbrella Heathered Canvas by Glen Raven

Glen Raven/Sunbrella® has also introduced new designs that transition well with indoor spaces. Several of its Sunbrella offerings have a “heather” effect, providing a natural, almost homespun, look that consumers love. This heather effect can be applied to both striped patterns as well as canvas, resulting in a fresh new aesthetic and a great value at retail.

Smokin’ Grills

Big Joe from Kamado Joe

Smokers have been growing in popularity over the past few years, thanks in part to the kamado style grill that has taken the barbecue world by storm. Kamado cookers are usually egg-shaped and feature a thick ceramic wall that helps insulate and trap the heat. Most of these grills use charcoal, which makes them relatively inexpensive to operate and maintain. Here are two kamado style grills that homeowners might have a strong interest in.

Big Joe from Kamado Joe is engineered to outsell all other XL grills. It is upgraded with a split fire box and split heat deflector for simultaneous direct and indirect cooking.
